What is it about the 75's that is so special?


My guess is the dual passband tuning, because I've
heard mixed things about the sync and DSP.

R-75 handles a bit easier than R-71. Audio is more pleasant. And
it
tends to be a bit quieter in the headphones.

So, between the two, if the cost came up for the same
used, the R75 is the smarter buy? I always figured
that the R71 would be.

R-71, by receiver standards, is very long in the tooth, and
though it
still acqits itself well, it's nowhere near current, technically
speaking, and is easily outperformed in deep DX by younger models.
And
by now, is beginning to show it's frailties.

Younger kilobuck models, or younger $500 models?
I'd figure that it still had the DX capabilities over
the new competition in it's price range, the R75 and
Sat 800 (and now E1).
